Awesome application performance monitoring tool
- The backtrack feature is awesome.
- The replay features to troubleshoot applications issues is incredible.
- The Appdex index provides a health score for executives.
- The ability to view error logs within Dynatrace is a very useful feature.
- End-to-end transaction monitoring and code injection help troubleshoot a lot of issues.
- Basic functions like extracting a list of deployed or discovered hosts are missing from the console.
- Needs more interfaces, like Solarwinds etc. to be built-in with Dynatrace
Transformed our operations
- Fantastic user and support community with a global reach makes it easy to connect with expert advice.
- Problem Root Cause Analysis and Incident Recovery, as well as Technical Debt Reduciton, have improved considerably. This translates to a better customer experience.
- Some functionality is still missing as the product is being developed. For example, LDAP integration for SSO/AD Authentication is still in the Early Access Programme.
- The product requires Root Access which has required robust conversations with our Security/UNIX teams who had their concerns.
Dynatrace is a must for web apps
- We are easily able to detect memory issues and quickly pin point where they are coming from and most of the time, narrow it down to a specific user and their actions. With this ability, we can call clients and tell them exactly what they are doing and how it is affected the systems.
- The ability to trace slow SQL statements is huge. Having insight to the database and knowing exactly where are slowness issues are occurring is 90% of the battle.
- Detecting threading issues easily and connection pool issues has become very convenient before applications move to prod. We can easily see if there’s an issue before moving code, eliminating down time for our users.
- Dynatrace could work on its naming convention for Appmon and Dynatrace users.
- The web client could be more robust and have the ability to dive deeper into issues.
My Dynatrace review
- Server monitor
- Application monitor
- Upgrades
- Main screen - update the grey to black
- Allow trusted Certs to be put directly into CACERTS file.
My experience on various monitoring tools and Dynatrace
- Dynatrace does quite well in synthetic transaction monitoring and end user monitoring.
- The DCRUM which does the real user monitoring is a key strength for clients that have some custom and COTS applications which are not written in Java or .Net.
- Mostly our clients look for end to end application monitoring that ties up with existing infrastructure monitoring tools as well. Dynatrace has good capability in integration with other monitoring tools and ITSM.
- For SAP and Skype monitoring, it can be improved. I agree any tools cannot provide [more] in-depth monitoring than the proprietary tools but still it can be improved.
- Log collection and analytics engine can be developed to put as a single stop monitoring solution
Great performance and health monitoring tool
- Product offerings
- Customer support
- Performance metrics of web requests containing dynamic query parameters
- Would like to have awareness sessions at partner office locations
Easy implementation
- Correlation of services
- Technical support
- Easy of use
- Self healing capabilities
- Better Reporting
The best APM tool
- Root cause analysis is heads and shoulders above the competition. I don't have to spend the time sifting through the data to understand what metrics deviate from the norm.
- Impact analysis is superb, showing us the actual users that were impacted by an issue.
- Cost
- Ease of use. The tool generally does a great job, but can be difficult to find where we need to do some fine tuning where things don't work as expected. Example--problems where we think separate problems should be joined into one problem.
Flexible and Powerful
- Provides an "at-a-glance" view of my application performance.
- Provides the ability to drill down into specific areas of concern while the event is occurring as well as before and after.
- Dynatrace could use a bit of housekeeping in categorizing actions. For instance, I would like the ability to tailor my view based on my area of interest, i.e., performance, root cause analysis, etc.
- Dynatrace can sometime be overwhelming in the amount of information presented. More intuitive filters would go a long way here.
Dynatrace is awesome!
- Diagnosing root causes.
- Dashboard reporting.
- Notifications by email.
- The OneAgent - Select an OS and that's it! Dynatrace does the rest.
- AI - The Dynatrace AI is not just AI hype. It has actually proven itself over and over again within our company.
- There is a need for better controls over how the licensing pool is divided up within a company.
- Better reporting on who is using what in terms of the licensing pool.
Product of the future
- It alerts on anomalies and stops them from trending.
- It monitors the infrastructure and reports on issues.
- It is easy to deploy.
- The reporting feature needs to be enhanced.
- Security can be improved.
- Administration can be improved.
